About the school toolkit for EDS and JHS
The schools toolkit is a free resource developed in partnership by The Ehlers-Danlos Support UK and The HMSA with content led by Jane Green, MA Ed. / AHT, Educationalist, and contributions by teachers Kerstin Holm and Georgia Earl and Kay White, physical wellbeing and rehabilitation practitioner. It aims to help school staff to provide appropriate support to pupils with symptomatic hypermobility, joint hypermobility syndrome or any type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
The Ehlers-Danlos Support UK is the largest national charity providing information and support to anybody touched by any type of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD).
The HMSA is the only UK charity supporting all people with symptomatic hypermobility – whatever the cause, and whether or not they are diagnosed. Providing management-focused patient support groups, and educational programs, information, and advice to hypermobile people and their wider support network, including health and social care professionals.
The development of this toolkit was partly funded by grants from The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust and the Peter Harrison Foundation.
